Cote Peterborough

Great visit to cote this week for a midweek dinner with a colleague. Have been to this chain before elsewhere and forgot how great it was. Lovely food, lots of options based loosely around a French brasserie theme. Nice surroundings and staff were great too. Would definitely visit again. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed our meal here. We had a set menu which was affordable considering the menu. The set menu is very well-curated! I liked everything that was included and I kind of struggled to pick which meal I wanted because everything looked good but settled on the mussels for starter and sea bass for the main course which were both delicious. Can’t wait to go back there again.

It had been a few years since my last visit so I felt it was time to update my review. I visited recently (May 2023) and had the most delicious three course meal with a white wine spritz on the side for approximately £38 - which for the quality I personally did not think was bad at all. I had the calamari starter which was a generous portion with a delicious rich creamy sauce for dipping. I then had the pork on Savoy cabbage with dauphinois potato- this was beautifully presented, full of flavour and the pork was succulent. Finally for dessert the waitress recommended the strawberry and elderflower crème brûlée. The brûlée had a lovely crispy sugar coating with a velvety as well as creamy inside with a gentle vanilla flavour. This accompanied by the fresh strawberries and the sauce used made for a dessert which was not overly rich after the meal. The restaurant in general had a lovely atmosphere with excellent service from the staff. I had a fabulous evening and look forward to visiting again.

I've been twice to Côte, once last spring/ summer, and once in September for my birthday. Both experiences were amazing. The food is divine, the service is fantastic and it has easily become my favourite restaurant. Don't expect to pay fast food prices here - the food is worth the extra cost though. For my birthday, the staff also added a surprise to my dessert, which was lovely. They wrote Happy Birthday on it, and it was just a gorgeous touch to a splendid meal out. I can't wait to come back again!
